Re: [expert] Is there any GUI front end for wireless?
Well - if your drivers under LInux supports the Wireless-Extensionjs (e.g. you use the wireless-tools to configure you WiFi), try out using the kwifimanager (Duno if you can scan etc. for available stuff though). You could also give kwavecontrol a shot... Dunno if it will help you though. I do have a prism3 based Wireless-USB stuff - and the support for the Wireless Extensions is not completelly working - so - I can only access it in read-only mode - thus no configuration. There are also other Tools - check out http://apps.kde.com and search for wireless e.g. wifi.

Re: [expert] problem with filesystem check
Since it's your root filesystem, perhaps the best way to accomplish this is to boot to the rescue system on MDK CD #1 (by hitting F1 at the first splash screen, then typing rescue at the prompt), then choosing Go to console at the ensuing menu, and running this command from there. I'm sorry (for me?!?!?!) but it's too late I did the change. Be aware that the true cause of the filesystem failing those periodic checks has not yet been determined, and could well be due to one or more of any number of factors, such as bad disks, bad or poorly connected cabling, memory that is failing, or something else entirely. While this may mask the symptoms of that problem, it doesn't really solve it. I know but i think it's a kernel problem, why did it never happen with the old one? Anyway I think the problem will be back again at the next filesystem check! and we try to understand the true reason without loosing important data. Angelo __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!

[expert] partly OT: Soyo + Barton + 8x : boot problem
i asked earlier here re mobos CPUs for use with Mdk 9.1
got some very helpful advice, basically to use AMD.
i have built a machine which works ok upto a point,
but won't function acc to full specs, wonder if anyone has advice.
i have a Soyo KT400 Dragon Ultra Black mobo, an Athlon XP 2500+ Barton CPU,
Samsung 512 MB memory (DDR400) ASUS AGP 8x graphics card.
it booted 1st time i did a grannie install of 9.1 ('yes' to everything),
which went thro' very cleanly, tho' you get a rather ugly KDE desktop;
as this is only testing, i haven't gone any further with Linux.
i have no problem running the mobo at FSB 133 , but at FSB 166
-- which the mobo is advertised to support -- it's not at all reliable.
first, it doesn't recognise the CPU in its default setting,
but thinks it's a 1900+ running at 1467 MHz ; more seriously,
if i try manually setting the FSB to 166 with appropriate other settings,
it boots ok 1 - 3 times, then fails to talk to the AGP card:
there's a long-short-short beep signalling this then Linux boots invisibly,
as i can see hear from the HDD activity fr using Ctl-Alt-Del to reset.
i've got the latest BIOS revision, thanks to Gary Meyer,
who has been very helpful with advice, have tried eg increasing voltages.
someone else reported the same problem on a Soyo newsgroup
i have sent a note to Soyo via its tech support WWW site.
anyone have any similar experiences or useful thoughts?

I don't know, it appears you may have multiple sources of error. That file, urpm.pm belongs to urpmi and, although I don't think this is one likely problem, you could see if the package has been corrupted with: rpm -V urpmi Otherwise, it looks like some files have been deleted or corrupted. Have you been deleting files? Is a hard drive going bad or has a bad shutdown caused corruption? You seem to have configured a lot of sources: (ftp1u) (one of disc 1 Download Edition Installation CD (x86) (cdrom1), disc 2 Download Edition Second Installation CD (x86) (cdrom2), disc 3 Download Edition Contributions CD (x86) (cdrom3), disc 3 Download Edition Contributions CD (x86) (cdrom4), mirrors.secsup.org, update_source, downloads) and there is a, seemingly, redundant source for updates: ftp1u or update_source. I have recovered from accidental deletion of files by deleting and re-adding sources but I don't know well enough what is the situation on your box. Some suggestions: Do urpmi.removemedia -a and start over. You can add them by hand in the 'manage sources' module of rpmdrake, or whatever it is, that has been a while ago. Just give CD1, CD2, etc for the name, the path is to the RPMS directory when the disk is in the reader, and relative path to hdlist is ../base/hdlist.cz, ../base/hdlist2.cz, etc. Add each with CD1 in the drive as all the hdlist.cz's are on CD1 and verify the names of the files. In 9.1, I don't know about 8.2, you can add all the install source CD's with one command, with CD1 in the reader: urpmi.addmedia --distrib removable://mnt/cdrom/ adjust the path to reflect what you have for a reader mount point. Also, you might try removing the CD1 source (plus ftp1u) then re-adding it only with sources manager, since that gives the error. However, it might be the first of a string of failures. Once you've got the install sources added, you can add an update_source with MandrakeUpdate or the sources manager, plus configure additional 8.2 sources here: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ These are just general suggestions as I can't imagine the state of your machine.

[expert] Using Postfix to send mail.
Hello, I am on a small internal LAN which does not use a Domain name or even have a DNS server, well, except for the router in a way I suppose. Anyway, I want to try to use my mailserver, simply called localhost, to send mail out rather than my ISP's smtp server. Mainly a learning exercise, you know, start small and all that. I have used sendmail in the past and run into several problems wherein receiving domains see me as an open relay and bounce the mail back to me as potential spam. I a looking at the postfix docs right now, and I am confused about a few things. In my mail client, I choose sendmail for sending mail, but how does this relate to Postfix? Does Postfix simply receive all commands from sendmail and process them? If so, how to I configure Postfix (I am assuming this is in /etc/postfix/main.cf) to let receivers know I am not an open relay and they have nothing to fear from me. I read in the docs that by default Postfix will not relay mail by default, so I rest easy that I am *not* an open relay, correct?

Re: [expert] Using Postfix to send mail.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Using sendmail to send your email automatically will use postfix by default on your system. Postfix understands sendmail. As for using localhost, that may be fine for testing, and it will be the default if you haven't made any changes or named your system something else but it would be better to use a name. I haven't messed with postfix for a while but you will be able to send emails to individuals and newsgroups, etc, via postfix using localhost or any other name you set but you wont be able to post to this mailing list or any other (as far as I know) and people who receive the email wont be able to reply to it because localhost is not valid. You would also run into problems if you made up a name because any attempt by others to reply to any such email would fail because your domain name would not be in any dns table. My hostname on my laptop is lapdog.ravenhome.net. I own the ravenhome.net domain name (paid for it for several years and will have to then renew). My desktop has a different hostname in the same domain. I use dyndns and ddclient to keep the dns servers updated as to my IP (dynamic IP via dhcp). With this, I can use postfix and append my domain name to my username and send emails anywhere and run into no problems. People could reply and it would get to me just fine. What you want to do, playing around to learn, would work locally but, again, any test email to any host but your own would not be able to be replied to (as a second half of the test). Postfix, by default, is not setup as an open relay. This wouldn't even come up unless spammers were passing messages through your mailserver anyway, which they couldn't. In any case, you should look into paying for a domain name (not expensive...something like $20-$30 as I recall for 3 years or so). You could then make a legit personal email address that is actually able to be replied to. Of course, you could also set yourself up with a reply-to address to get around part of the problem with [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]. praedor On Monday 21 July 2003 03:18 pm, JoeHill wrote: Hello, I am on a small internal LAN which does not use a Domain name or even have a DNS server, well, except for the router in a way I suppose.

Here is a link to some of that info. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02521.html James Thanks James, but NFS is not installed and just in case I checked the system, but no NFS rpm's either. H every time I've seen this it's been related to NFS ... AFS or some similar product. What kernel do you run? James 2.4.21-0.13mdk It doesn't happen often, and has only happened in the last couple of weeks, 3 times. It's not a real problem, just curiosity. But that is a point, I have a couple of kernels in my home directory, and a 30 second delay in boot to select whichever I want to boot into. But if I'm making a cup of coffee while the machine boots, it just goes straight into the the one above. So I will have to take note of which kernel is being used when it happens. I was earlier on tonight building a second kernel on a Slackware partition and know that I disabled NFS, but if I was tired building a new kernel, I might have left it in. Now I know what to look for, I will do so. I checked one already, it does not have NFS support of any kind enabled. Or any other than the DOS, ext2 and ext3 file systems. All the others disabled.

Re: [expert] Testing Kernel 2.6
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greg Meyer wanted us to know: If I am running Mandrake 9.1 with the latest Club kernel, is there anything in particular I need to know to compile and tet the beta 2.6 kernel? Has anything changed with respect to the compilation process? Yes, a lot has changed. You no longer need to do all of the make arguments. 1) 'make config|menuconfig|xconfig|oldconfig' all still work the same. 2) 'make dep' and 'make clean' are no longer required, but you can use 'make clean' if you like. 3) 'make' will compile both the kernel and modules for you. If you happen to have removed something (in menuconfig for example), you do not have to run 'make dep' or 'make clean' or 'make distclean' or 'make mrproper' at any point. Just running 'make' is enough. 4) 'make xconfig' is now using qt instead of the old way. It's really nice. 5) 'make install' still does things the same way. In short, the Makefiles and related scripts have undergone some major rewrites. It works quite well now that the bugs seem to have been squashed for the most part. - -- Blue skies...

Has anyone attemped to compile this, and found a solution? Tutorial time. How to find this out with the tools that Mandrake provides: 1) When ld (the dynamic linker) wants to a link a file using the library called audio, it's really looking for a file named libaudio.so. 2) Look for that file with something such as 'urpmf libaudio'. 3) Comb through the results looking for devel packages that have that file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urpmf libaudio.so libnas2:/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2 libnas2:/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so.2.3 libnas2-devel:/usr/X11R6/lib/libaudio.so 4) Tada! 'urpmi libnas2-devel' and you can now compile k3b. If you would have done something even simpler like try to build the k3b source rpm, one of the prerequisites would have been that you would have to install the libnas2-devel rpm for it to build properly.

The tricky point is the little hack that makes it use libqt or libqt-mt (multithreaded). libqt-mt is what Mandrake uses. I happened to catch that the first day it got released by Roman and sent a fix in, but he didn't like it. He did it a different way and it turns out that his way is much cleaner, so I'm content with having notified him that some systems use a slightly different appearance for qt.

Re: [expert] Using Postfix to send mail.
Am Montag, 21. Juli 2003 22:18 schrieb JoeHill: Hello, I am on a small internal LAN which does not use a Domain name or even have a DNS server, well, except for the router in a way I suppose. Anyway, I want to try to use my mailserver, simply called localhost, to send mail out rather than my ISP's smtp server. Mainly a learning exercise, you know, start small and all that. I have used sendmail in the past and run into several problems wherein receiving domains see me as an open relay and bounce the mail back to me as potential spam. They don't do it weil because they see you as an open relay but because you have a dynamic IP address and those addresses were missused for spaming. They take the easy way and block whole known dynamic IP address ranges (It is something like that: oh, there are drivers of rented cars who can not drive so to be sure none of those drivers get on our roads lets block our roads to all rented cars). I a looking at the postfix docs right now, and I am confused about a few things. In my mail client, I choose sendmail for sending mail, but how does this relate to Postfix? Does Postfix simply receive all commands from sendmail and process them? postfix has a sanemail compatibility layer. the postfix/sendmail has nothing to do with the sendmail program. It is only called the same. There are some programs out there which needs a programm called sendmail with the known functionality of the famous sendmail. If so, how to I configure Postfix (I am assuming this is in /etc/postfix/main.cf) to let receivers know I am not an open relay and they have nothing to fear from me. You can not. All the big ISP which reject your mails don't care wether you can send mails from your own mailserver or not. I read in the docs that by default Postfix will not relay mail by default, so I rest easy that I am *not* an open relay, correct? It is not that easy. To run a mailserver is mor than to install postfix. you are responsible for your configuration and your users who are allowed to use your mailserver. And there are so many poor installed and configured mailserver out there. It is hard to collect all this servers with static ip addresses, but with dynamic addresses it is not possible. And, your intention may be not to build a open relay, but are you shure you ar the only person, who is able to configure your server? So, you may know that your server is save, but the rest of the wold only may guess. And you are not able to give a guarantee. Your server can not get prooven while changing the IP address. Anyhow, thanks for any assistance! So, in the beginnig, configure your mailserver to use the mailserver of your ISP as a relay. Please see the postfix FAQ on www.postfix.org. There are some config examples for this special needs.
